Brazil's current account deficit totaled $6.036 billion in March, central bank data showed on Friday, exceeding the $5.489 billion shortfall expected by economists in a Reuters poll. Foreign direct investment (FDI) for the month reached $6.037 billion, falling short of the $7 billion forecast in the poll. • The widening of the current account deficit was driven by a $1.6 billion fall in the trade surplus from the same month last year, as imports grew much faster than exports.
